Abstract

The familyMethanomicrobiaceaecomprises hydrogen- and formate-utilizing methanogens. Genome sequencing of nine species ofMethanomicrobiaceaehas been conducted so far. Here, we report three additional draft genome sequences ofMethanomicrobiaceae, those ofMethanoculleus horonobensisJCM 15517 (=T10(T)),Methanoculleus thermophilusDSM 2373 (=CR-1(T)), andMethanofollis ethanolicusJCM 15103 (=HASU(T)).
